Jeez. Again? San Diego needs a police chief, not an audit. While we understand Chief Lansdowne would like to retire on a good note, the fact remains under his command the department is out-of-control, as yet another case ofmisconduct pops up. On the plus side...at least the public is finally aware how little city council cares about the safety of San Diego women. As the City Council has responded to every scandal with silence, we find the new awareness refreshing!

Based on our efforts and testimony, it's simple. San Diego is the Charlie Sheen of government when it comes to protecting women and children. Both San Diego City Council members, and Chief Lansdowne, enjoy a long history of refusing to protect or serve. Likewise, San Diego media (absent periodic exposes) ignores San Diego City's off-the-charts indifference to crime victims, instead of investigating the profits behind this, in any kind of meaningful, ongoing way. Which boils down one salient fact: San Diego female crime victims pay taxes for police and public services the city of San Diego refuses to provide.

But there's one thing you can say about San Diego police officers attacking women. They're consistent!Why is Lansdowne still chief? The answer can be foundhere. (They've blown every opportunity at every opportunity.) To be fair, the County hires as ETM's - men who have killed children. Think we're kidding See Jesse Thrush byClicking here. The short version being San Diego has always been hard on women.
To wit: San Diego Sheriff's Deputy Lowell Bruce - and how DA Bonnie Dumanis came to Bruce's defense; costing the county much in the way of litigation. Dumanis and the police equal: Lots of dead women. Note to Media: Seems past time to report the identity of any and all psychologists used by the police department for evaluations. Clearly there's a problem. (The problem with media and sex crimes in San Diego is Larry Mendte, (who pleaded guilty to hacking a female co-anchor's email account), and Joe Lizura, who pleaded guilty to a lewd act, the infamous, Rod Luck, arrested for punching his girlfriend in the mouth.)

But that's just the rank and file. Consider the sex charges involving a seven year old girl, against former Fox Lake Police Chief, here.02-05-14 HI:Female inmates subjected to outrageous abuse at the hands of warden, Neal Wagatsuma, who filmed his version of their, sexual public shamings. (Note:We are not making this up).

01-28-14 CA:San Bernardino police. Drunk or stupid? How is it San Bernardino police can believe it's a good idea to enter an elderly woman's home, from a silent burglar alarm, with a canine unit, and allow the dog to attack a sleeping 88 year old woman? Or, put another way,who hires these morons?

12- 21-13: NY: Idaho jackboots attack woman in her home. Brag about their assault. Who hires these thugs with badges?A word about media coverage on the police: On December 1, 2013, the LA Times featured a snazzy graphic piece on bad copshired.Although we usually link to stories regarding poor examples of self-policing, this piece was so lacking that, we can't. However, and sadly, reporters live tweeted each other how brilliant the piece was. Seriously. That would be those reporters without a clue. No reporting on cops who are arrested, (long after everyone in the department knows) serve time, but retain their pensions, (or plead out with "Community service") after beating their wives, girlfriends, or women on the street. None of that information was included in the LA Times report, although just two weeks prior, the the New York Times and PBS devoted a documentary to murderous police officers, here. As well as how to combat criminal police officers, here.

Imagine how many lives might have been saved had police response not been sluggish and inept, with the first on-scene officers not immediately deciding it was a "domestic incident.' (Note: Super creepy when reporters don't asking why police refer to crimes they believe involve relationships, as "incidents.")

Police news is always breaking, however our question is this: Why does attacking women come with a nifty, pension benefits program? We like unions. At least until they run amok. Rewarding criminal behavior qualifies as "amok."

Olivia Osborne, who was sent to the Birmingham Work Release Center. Suit alleges Cheatham told staff to put inmate on birth control. Complaint also states when Osborne complained of the rapes the staff changed the words "rape" to "kissing."

10/25/13 - PA: Feds to file against (now) ex Philly cop, ten year veteran, Joseph Harvey, for on-duty masterbating on woman. Charges against his partner, Sean Cahill, also pending. Why? Because the DA dropped the ball.

10/19/13 - OK: Thugs with badges!Guthrie Police Lt.Mark Bruning accused of arresting the ex-husband following the concert and falsely alleging the man was drunk in public. Hint: This isn't Bruning's first rodeo.

09/15/13 - AK: Fort Smith (married) police officer Billy Rowe arrested for having sex with a 16 year old girl, five times. Rowe was allowed to resign prior to arrest. One of the charges detailed Rowe engaging in sexual relations while while on duty. Another problem? Low bail. $25,000.00. Low bail is the DA's way of informing the public how of little importance the DA and the Courts believes sex crimes are. Update: 10-12-13: Rowe admitted the relationship (crime) earlier.

07/09/13 - WV: U.S. Attorney comments on non-prosecution of former Clarksburg Police Chief Marshall Goff and Lt. Tim Smith on federal charges. Both Goff and Tim Smith resigned after not arresting city council member Sam "Zeke" Lopez, following an attack on his wife. Tip line likely helped establish a cover-up after not arresting Lopez, is a factor. Marshall Goff and Tim Smith are prohibited from ever working in law enforcement again. A separate investigation continues.

06/19/13 - AR: Testimony today in the rape by instrumentation trial of retired police officer, Jimmy Watson Jones. Jones retired then was alleged to have gotten busy. The case seems to be centered around whether kids lie. Jimmy Jones previously was employed in law enforcement in Arkoma as well as a Sequoyah County agency. A defense attorney is an alternate juror.

05/15/13 - FL: Recycling? Broward County hires 53-year-old Edwin Sanchez. Sanchez was
fired in 2008 from the Broward’s Sheriff’s Office following
accusations by a 21-year-old woman booked on drug trafficking charges
that he tried to look down her shirt, asked for her phone number and
asked her out on a date upon her release. Another reason for his firing was earlier, Edwin Sanchez forgot to mention has additional firings.

01/16/13: CHP payout after traffic stop reveals they kicked and hogtied pregnant Tamara Gaglione. Video stuns public. And yes, it was a LA DA who initially told Gaglione's attorney there was no dash-camera. More bad news. All officers involved in Gaglione's case, those who hog-tied, and kicked her in the ribs, are still on the prowl, and in uniform.

To the surprise of no one, ex Bolingbrook Police Sgt., Drew Peterson decided not to testify in the murder trial of his third wife. Body of fourth wife still missing. He was convicted. But that he got away with it for so long....means ongoing psych evaluations seems like a good idea, but the process of "Oversight" in some states, doesn't exist. In 2002, Oceanside Police Department sued by female cops for harassment....judge allows confidential settlement. Fast forward to San Diego Police...déjà vu. But good news, the Code Of Silence is Broken in Federal Court, and police officers attacking family members.

Breaking:

IL: November 20, 2012Justice Police Department Officer Carmen Officer Carmen Scardine sued for forced sex."Scardine proceeded to unzip his pants, exposed his penis, grabbed (M's) head and forced her to perform the act of oral sex on him. Under duress and fear of being arrested, again (M) complied.
After this act of sexual gratification for defendant he zipped up, walked over to the driver side of his vehicle, pulled off and drove (M) back to the cab where the driver was still waiting."
M says she reported the sexual assault to the police in the village where she lives, which contacted the Justice Police Department, which investigated and "found that (M's) complaint against Scardine was sustained."

MD: Deputy Sheriff Lamar McIntyre sued for sexually attacking woman in court holding cell.MI: Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee out in middle of another sex probe. Godbee's predecessor, Warren Evans, was fired after an embarrassing reality TV show audition video surfaced, as well as because of complaints about Evans' relationship with Detroit police officer, Monique Patterson. Shortly after Godbee became chief it was revealed he also had also had a relationship with Patterson, but as the city was still reeling, remained at the top. Godbee's wife immediately tweeted, "Wow, some people aren't who they say they are!" At least until news of an affair with Angelica Robinson. To which we can only add, "Sheesh."

Lowell Bruce was a San Diego Deputy who shot his wife Kristin, point-blank in the face during an argument in front of their little boy. (By day Bruce "guarded" women in Los Colinas Women's Detention facility).

San Diego Sheriff's deputy's allowed Kristin Maxwell Bruce to bleed-out rather than get medical attention. Then sheriff's deputies pepper-sprayed her father, hit him with a baton, and refused to let anyone go to Kristin, for five hours. (On the other hand, what if EMT Jesse Thrush had showed up? Thrust was hired by San Diego Medical Director Brucy Haynesafter he was convicted of killing's his girlfriend's little girl.)

(Later DA Bonnie Dumanis went to bat for Lowell Bruce, against Judge Allen Preckel, although in the case of Fartuna Kheyre, Judge Preckel allowed the County to prosecute Kheyre for spitting on a deputy while in custody, although there was evidence Kheyre was not mentally competent. (Kheyre's Conviction was over-turned on appeal.)

Lowell Bruce was hired by San Diego Sheriff's department in spite of his history of violence, and failing not one, but two psych evaluations.

(Tacoma Police Chief, David Brame had four psych evaluations and was hired as "fit for duty" after he was accused of rape.)

After Kristin Maxwell's parents sued, U.S. District Judge John Houston dismissed the claim that the county negligently hired Bruce as a deputy. Judge Houston agreed with the county that Bruce "already had psychological issues before the county hired him and that he would have had the same issues whether or not the county hired him."Well, duh.

CA: Five LAPD officers are under investigation. Woman tried to leave her children with the police. Instead, they decided to charge her with child endangerment. Cops went to her home. She resisted. Dash camera caught one cop stomping on her groin area. She stopped breathing...and suffocated. Misogyny this gross (this time from a female police officer, is a huge, Top-down problem.

CA: Two LAPD officers, one a 20 year veteran, "fist bump" after throwing hand-cuffed woman to the ground twice, after a traffic stop. Nearby store security camera captures the entire event.

PA: Yoliana Washinton-Pope isn't buying the diabetes excuse as a reason why her police partner put his loaded police issue gun to her head, and demanded she beg for her life. Washington-Pole filed suit instead. Washington-Pope claims among other things that Bailey had a checkered workplace history - and the city knew it.July, 2012

CA: Corona Cop Maraget Bell and church pastor Lonny Remmers arrested for failure to report child abuse, among other charges. Margaret Bell was made aware of a child's nipples being twisted with pliers, but did not report it; as detailed in her arrest report. Remmers who has Power of Attorney over some in his congregation, also served time in federal prison for investment fraud. Remmers had enrolled in a Corona Police Volunteer program, and wanted to be a police chaplin, but was removed after a background check...which came after he'd been in a volunteer program for months.

CA: Who hires misogynist police officers and DAs? Consider the case of LAPD Sgt. Joshua Chong who after threatening to murder his ex girlfriend as well as her new boyfriend, was offered a plea deal by OC's lame DA's office, to one misdemeanor and eight hours of "community service" along with a DV prevention class. Other lackluster DA's are featured here. As yet no one has explained by criminal cops are allowed to keep their pensions.

FL:Police officer records himself picking up hookers while on duty.
CA: Anthony Sclafani age 42, the former former Desert Hot Springs police sergeant was sentenced to four years in federal prison for pepper-spraying and using a stun gun on two suspects in custody "without any lawful justification." One of the Sclafani's victims was a woman too drunk to stand up as ordered by Sclafani.

CA: Courthouse News reports LA Sheriff's raided the wrong house, and forced a naked woman to get out of bed, watched her do it, then joked that she would "have a story to tell others at Thanksgiving," according to the suit filed by the woman and her fiance. This was done at gunpoint.

Criminal cops remains a problem throughout the nation as this LA Sheriff's Office Investigation demonstrates. The problem however, is that those in charge, don't fire them. Instead, most superiors are allowed to retire with their huge pensions, because of the systemic Union refusal to address the basic issue of criminal, misogynistic cops. See the Kids Killed Fast section for police officers who kill their own babies.

Can police disdain for women be any better demonstrated than Gilroy's Police Department? Probably not.

While standing in a blood-soaked crime scene, after Vet Abel Gutierrez, killed his 11 year old sister Lucero, and then himself, Gilroy Police Suspended their search for his missing Mother, Martha Guiterrez. Some reports quoted Gilroy Police officials stating, "Well, we have no real proof she's dead." A resident found her body.

But Kern County Deputy Sheriff Logan Earl Steven August, seems to run a really close second. August's being sued for crashing his vehicle into the Plaintiff's car, and then going to the hospital and taking about 30 pictures of her exposed chest in the hospital...and posting them online, according to the Complaint.

Do police departments screen for misogyny? Consider Beaumont PD officer and head of the Beaumont Police Officer's Association, Enoch Clark. Clark tussled with a woman he stopped for driving under the influence, but who was not drunk. Clark sprayed pepper spray in her eyes at 400mph, from ten inches away. (Recommended distance is five feet.) This blinded her. Mercifully, Enoch Clark is now indicted on four felony charges.

A New York judge sentenced the ex cop Michael Pena, the former drunken off-duty cop who repeatedly attacked a teacher, while waving his gun in her face, threatening to blow her F**king head off, to 75 years.

On the last day of 2011, the New York Times reported women attempting to report crimes against them by men, were rebuffed by local police. Apparently this and that law enforcement personnel beat their families at Twice the rate of non-police families, is news only to New York Times reporters.

Why this continues to happen: Bad reporting. In some cases, lethally bad reporting.

At present bad reporting stems from the San Francisco Chronicle, and UTSan Diego.com

After repeatedly bleating he was innocent, Sheriff Mirkarimi dumped his first attorney and quickly accepted a plea deal for false imprisonment. The DA dropped the DV charge. That's getting it right? Bad to the bone....San Francisco demonstrates their top-down problem:

Given it's San Francisco, Sheriff and wife beater Ross Mirkarimi grabbed the offered plea deal from the DA's office; of false imprisonment. (After the fight Mirkarimi refused to allow his wife to leave the house for 18 hours.)

For the sad history of a lack of prosecution, see below.

History: It began on New Year's Eve. San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi San Francisco's newest sheriff faced trial for three DV related charges and one child endangerment. The latest report was he kept his wife, (who seemingly suffers from Battered Women's Syndrome) isolated for 18 hours after her New Year's attack.

San Diego: San Diego meanwhile, had a record number of officer arrests, (nine) during one short, time period, including one "Officer of the Year" who was stalking a fellow officer. Although afraid for her life the female officer could not get a restraining order from Judge Lisa Schall. The officer of the Year was later convicted of stalking, but kept his job. Others quit the force after their arrest. Others went to prison.

Anthony Arevalos, dubbed, "Los Colinas Transportation Unit" was one. Turns out he'd been stalking women for years. Lawsuits against the city have been filed. Although Chief Lansdowne has lost control of the department, San Diego's City Council doesn't seem to mind.

Other, recent arrests:

OH: Obetz police officerVernon Wolford demanded oral sex before transporting females to detention centers. Wolfford is married and was a "Reserve" officer for a year prior. He was later fired.

Does Officer Norman have trouble getting dates? Why else would he demand women expose their breasts to him; and is anyone really surprised he's additionally charged with groping?

Family Court remains the bedrock source, but because reporters don't cover Family Court, speaking only to officials or "experts" when it comes to family violence, (crime) the public remains better informed than those being paid to report. In the Kristina Davis article Davis spoke with Cynthia Burke, director of criminal justice research at San Diego Association of Governments. Burke stated, “Homicide is not the best measure of how safe a community is." Reportedly with a straight face. That Davis would quote her, confining her reports to people in her rolodex, is another (sad) matter.

Bad reporting is why women attempting to report inter-family crimes are shuffled off by the police to Family Court, instead.

It's likely reporters have no clue Family Court judges have long adjudicated crimes. The only difference being unlike criminal courts judges, women are more at risk as Family Court judges refuse to protect litigants trapped in front of them. Family court judges refuse to order GPS with Victim Notification, although these devices enable judges to make for the first time,effective restraining orders.

A separate issue: how did the individuals below not come to the attention of their superiors...remains unaddressed and unreported.

OH: December 11, 2011: Marvin Rice, former Dent County Deputysuspect in double murder of ex-wife and her boyfriend. The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported Rice went to the home of his ex-wife, Annette Durham and her boyfriend Steven Strotkamp and fatally shot them, before fleeing with his 2-year-old son, which he left with his new wife, before speeding off.

Recent:Text messages show covert tactics of Baltimore police who protected Cleaven Williams, Jr., the man they were supposed to arrest, resulted in William's ability to murder his wife. BaltimorePD sued.

Just in time for October's "Domestic Violence Awareness" month - do women need back-up after the police arrive? Or why do City Councils allow top brass to keep their jobs? To wit:

Fullerton: Seven womencome forward with claims against officer Albert Rincon. (Although LA doesn't hold a candle to San Diego for stalking, sex crimes, for domestic violence the jury is still out.)

Are most city leaders as into cronyism, as Fullerton's City Councilman Bruce Whitaker - who previously handed the Sheriff-Coroner Department; the District Attorney’s Office; Public Defender Office; Probation Department; the Superior Court System while working for Chris Norby?

Meanwhile, San Diego DA and police officials ended all pretense ofending Domestic Violenceas stalker sgt takes a plea, while on paid leave, which allows him to keep his gun. Media continues ignoring the GPS real-time monitoring technologysolution which would also saveofficer lives. (Jail house recorded phone calls revealed the killer planned to kill them all along. He cut his tracking device off and did so. GPS straps using real-time monitoring can't be cut. Had the state used the newer, better technology police officers wouldn't be killed.

Returning to the other problem; the result of police officers refusing to provide services when called, is dead people.

Often, dead, women people.

Recently eight year oldRosalin Reynoldswas murdered after Watonga, Oklahoma, because the police couldn't get their act together to investigate after numerous prior calls for service.

And yet, after not responding to calls for service, the police apply for grant money for snazzy new, crime solving, software for themselves, while telling Victims of assault and attempted murder, they don't have the money.

San Diego's police chief's response to GPS with real-time victim notification was an immediate, "How are they going to pay for it?" The question itself belies the prejudice against women crime victims. In what other area is a crime victim expected to pay for their protection? That said, each city has existing funds. It's merely a question of deciding women are important enough to divert existing funds to empower them with equipment to save themselves. San Diego City Council's reaction to police officers repeatedly attacking women? Bumpkiss.

Where are the supervisors?

WA: Some of them aresupervisors. AG taking over prosecution of former Staff Sgt.Dennis L. McCarthywas arrested late last year on charges that he pointed a gun at his girlfriend in May 2010 and pushed her out the second-story window of an Olalla home. The woman broke her shoulder and legs in the fall. Detectives said McCarthy reported that she fell out the window while she was hanging curtains at 4:30 a.m.

Where are the supervisors?

How is it Prison Guard Mark Barber, could repeatedly rape prison inmates without any kind of suspicion for as long as the indictments claim?While it takes a special kind of person to rape an inmate, how is it Mark Barber could attack as many women as he did, for so long, without someone noticing...considering he was the prison rep for grievances?

Mark Barber was indicted for 58 separate counts of sex crimes including rape, of prisoners.

Nassau DA Kathleen Rice stated,

"This defendant used the influence of his position to terrorize, rape and abuse vulnerable inmates."

Mark Barber. 58 counts. Whew.

Also consider Kim Wolf,another New York jail guard now charged with murdering her ex-girlfriend and Uncle.

On the other hand, when Police Chiefs break into homes for financial gain related to pregnancy, shouldn't women realize calling the police might qualify for a new definition of "risky behavior?" Consider the case of former Ohio Police Chief,Barry Carpenterand Police Chief Chad Dojack.Recent: In the Category of "How strange is this?"

San Diego PoliceChief William Lansdownewanted officer Anthony Aravalosprosecuted, but sent him back out on the street, alone.

(San Diego City Council continued their mute stance after Sgt. Ken Davis was convicted of stalking a fellow officer.)

Stating the obvious: the public pays taxes including for police officers - who take an oath to protect the public. Seems simple. So why are police officialspromotedafter officers downgrade rapes to burglaries? When the police are the front line of defense against crime towards women, are themselves,criminals.city councils must demand accountability.

San Diegans are beginning to wonder if San Diego's police misconduct cover-up, isn't getting a helpful assist by the City Council, led the mayor, and former police chief, with a helpful assist of the city attorney, himself involved in a "domestic violence" incident.

In one 45 day period, five , six, Seven San Diego Police officers were arrested for on-duty stalking, sexual battery and rape. The latest arrest, featured Daniel Dana, for on-duty rape, less than 24 hours after a press conference wherein the chief announced a new task force. Unfortunately the force is staffed with managers who are also problematic.

In the case of Anthony Arevalous, it may be that his superiors as reported locally, were aware of Arevalous's activities,for 15 years.

Women buy into this culture, too. San Diego Sheriff's Deputy Lauren McAllister was herself arrested for trying to block the arrest of a man for sexual assault.

are were charged with rape charges. Update: A jury found a former Westminster Police Department detective and Iraq War veteran guilty of kidnapping and raping a cocktail waitress, setting the staging for a second phase of the trial when the panel will decide whether Anthony Nicholas Orban was legally sane when he carried out the attack in Fontana two years ago. His partner in crime testified against him. Update: Ever the coward, Orban committed suicide the day before sentencing.

Just as clearly as there is a problem between victims of family crimes and the response of police officers, just as clear is this is a reflection of a Top-Down, not a rank and file, problem.

Should any police officer refusal to provide police services in relation to family crime please contact us. Government works - but sometimes only after problem areas are corrected. And when authorities fail, and media fails to do its job, the result is a continuing parade ofdead people.

Then there are the cases where the police do their part, and theDA failsto do their job. Or, the police and the DA do their part, and the judge does not. Please seeKillerJudges.com

The public must hold city officials responsible when police refuse to provide services, including to crime victims within the family...which generally come to light in family court. In the case below, the failure of the police to allowed Bud Parsons to freely molest other people's children for a period of five years.

Great news! Dorcus Allen, who cut off a tracking bracelet and murdered four police officers,was convicted.
